The best camping near Roy Lake State Park guide

Overview

About

Everybody meet Roy Lake State Park, a natureful space starring a glacial lake alongside acres of camping and fishing! Settled just three miles southwest of Lake City, this park has lots to offer in terms of easy livin’. Get your kayak or preferred floating vessel out on the water, hike the Roy Island Trail, play a round of disc golf, or picnic on the beach. There are boat ramps for smooth water access, electric campsites, a resort, cafe, and convenience store, and tons of huge shady trees. See what we’re talking about? Good, easy livin’! If you aren’t coming here for the incredible fishing, come here for the gorgeous view of the lake at sunset, when you can see the reflection of the trees on the water. That view alone is worth the whole trip. Come for a night and you may just want to stay forever.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Roy Lake State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park is in full bloom and the lake's waters invite for a swim. Winter can be harsh, with activities limited by snow and ice.

Know before you go

  • Check weather conditions before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
  • Accessibility varies across different areas of the park; inquire ahead for specific needs.
  • Remember to pack essentials, including water, snacks, and a first-aid kit, for a day of exploration.
  • Stay informed about any temporary closures or restrictions that may affect your visit.
